Why Regional Ocean? •An integrated assessment of the impacts and risks of climate change and ocean acidification on the Ocean as a region was not included in recent IPCC assessments •Gives opportunity to synthesizing the detection and attribution of climate change and ocean acidification across the physical, chemical, ecological, and socio-economic components of the Ocean •Reflects the substantial increase in literature on observed and projected climate change and ocean acidification, and vulnerabilities and adaptation •Provides a clear message of the risks to the Ocean ecosystems and sectors

The Ocean environment is changing and responses of marine organisms have been recorded from all oceans
There is medium to high agreement that impacts on marine species and ecosystems pose significant uncertainties and risks to fisheries, aquaculture, and other coastal activities.
The associated risks will intensify as ocean warming and acidification continue Regional risks and vulnerabilities to ocean warming and acidification can be compounded by non-climate related stressors such as pollution, nutrient runoff from land, and over-exploitation of marine resources, as well as natural climate variability (high confidence).
Responding to climate change is a challenge in managing risks

Decrease
Change in maximum catch potential for fisheries

Changes to the ocean environment are generating new challenges for fisheries, as well as benefits (high agreement).

Adaptation strategies beyond coastal waters are generally poorly developed but will benefit from international legislation and expert networks, as well as marine spatial planning (high agreement) International frameworks for collaboration and decision making are critically important for coordinating policy that will enable mitigation and adaptation by the Ocean sectors to global climate change
